Strange Cargo III makes up for the unoriginality of its title with some wonderfully imaginative music. All the usual William Orbit trademarks are here and while some tracks are perhaps less polished than later works there are a few truly stand-out pieces of music on here including my personal favourite "The Monkey King" - a subtle ambient masterpiece. I personally prefer this album to the follow up (Strange Cargo: Hinterland). It's music is diverse and distinctive where the later album seems a little tired by comparison. Of course, William Orbit on a bad day is better than most musicians on a good day ! Recommended.
